Calendula Flashback Mix is a spectacular ornamental and culinary flower variety distinguished by its striking bi-color petal architecture and exceptional floral density. This organic, Non-GMO heirloom produces flowers with vibrant face colors complemented by muted burgundy undersides, creating dramatic visual contrast and distinctive "flashy" appearance throughout the growing season. The variety's exceptional flower production includes a high percentage of double and semi-double blooms borne on long, sturdy stems ideal for fresh arrangements, garden display, and culinary applications. The diverse color palette within the mix establishes visual richness suitable for ornamental gardens, cutting gardens, and decorative landscape integration. Calendula's edible petals deliver tangy, slightly bitter flavor complexity suitable for diverse culinary applications. The petals function as "flower confetti" in soups, soufflés, and baked goods, while providing vibrant color contrast in fresh salads and dessert garnishes. The variety's popularity as a salad mix brightener reflects both its visual appeal and subtle flavor contribution. Important preparation note: remove petals from the flower base before consumption, as the base develops pronounced bitterness unsuitable for culinary use. Beyond culinary merit, Calendula—also known as pot marigold, common marigold, and Scotch marigold—has established traditional applications in herbal preparations and skin care formulations. The dried petals retain color and aromatic properties suitable for craft applications and specialty preparations. Each packet contains 50 organically-grown, Non-GMO, heirloom seeds with germination rates of 70% or better, ensuring reliable establishment and consistent plant vigor. Blooms develop in approximately 60 days. The variety thrives in well-drained soil with full sun exposure, where it maintains steady growth and continuous flowering throughout the growing season. Calendula Flashback Mix is essential for culinary gardeners, ornamental growers, and landscape professionals seeking dual-purpose flowers with authentic heirloom credentials. Our sustainably sourced, organically-cultivated seeds arrive in eco-conscious, fully recyclable packaging designed to preserve seed viability while minimizing environmental impact.
